Last day of the rest of my life?

Question

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye

I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel

Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat


Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain

That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know

There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

Answer 1

Just some guy? I don,t think so. This poem says a lot...Is it just that you have a flair with words or is this good bye!
"To the world you might just be someone, but I bet to someone you might just be the world"...Please stick around...

Answer 2

I love your poem. Almost sound like rap. Or maybe it does. But , I would think from just what you wrote and how you said it, there is more to life than that which you portrade, (escuse me, I can't spell tonight,lol) You make your life, others just influence you. The choices you make to stay in that atmosphere are only yours.
Been there, too may times. Sometimes you just need to start out with small steps to get out of the hell your in, and then go on to the bigger steps when your ready. So many people are so full fo hate and feeling sorry for themselves because of the environment they're in. I've been kicked back down so many times, and never had to lower myself to kill someone either physcally or by their pride. That made me more proud of myself. My saying, "Our greatest glory consists of ot in the falling, but rising every time we fall!" I read that alot because I leave it written on a peace of paper on my table so I never forget that when I feel down. Good luck to you. Maybe try some writing.
